I always used to see MAC store form a distance but never had the courage to enter it. But one fine day, I just had to enter the store. And I was so mesmerized by their collection! I bought a Studio Fix plus foundation, Studio Moisture Cover concealer, a lipglass, a lippie and Prep and prime.
My MAC Taupe Lipstick Journey 
This is my first and only one lipstick from MAC. I had no idea about how many types they have in lippies and blah blah blah, I just told the MUA(who was a sweet person and didn’t let me feel awkward which I had expected) that I have a budget of 6k for my MAC Makeup, please suggest me some basic MAC products. He asked me try out the base, which I loved instantly. I also wanted to own a MAC lippie, which can be worn for office. That was my idea of paisa-wasool 
. He gave me this Matte lippie, I got it as if I was receiving a free gift. Later I realized I had got a matte one which I never wear.
But then I decided to try this out for office and got quite a few complements, I was always under the impression that matte shades make u look older and what not. But when I received lovely complements for my lippie, I fell in love with my MAC lipstick! I have been following blogs lately but never got to see this name L, but does that matter? I like this lipstick a lot and it has made me like matte lipsticks a lot.
Swatches of MAC Taupe Lipstick :-
I always hear that beauties complain that matte lipsticks are very drying but I did not have such experience with this, although my lips hate any product which is even a bit drying. I don’t need to say much coz I always think lipsticks are generally good by all companies and this one is MAC so its too good .
MAC Taupe Lipstick Swatches:-
Coming to the color, its like a not too brown shade. I suck at explaining so will show you swatches. It’s a nice shade but it will wash you out if you are dusky. For my NC 42 skin tone, it looks great and it’ll suit even better to wheatish complexion beauties.
Well, I wouldn’t say it’s a must buy shade, you can live without it. And I won’t be repurchasing it again.
What I like about MAC Matte Taupe Lipstick :-
- Doesn’t dry out the lips
- Good number of shades to choose from
- Its MAC!
- Color suits me well
- Nice fragrance
- Sturdy packaging
What I do not like about MAC Matte Taupe Lipstick :-
- Pricey
- Not a great shade which would suit everyone
Although the second con is bullshit coz we never buy lippies which would suit everyone! We buy the ones which suit us, but I had to write something! Hope this review helped

By the way swatches of the taupe is well taken 
i was also gona mention that…the swatches r absolutely clean and accurate
Thanks
lovely shade..I have tried this at the store..infact I have tried every MAC lippie..I always try atleast 10 to get 1..
Same with me. Would go for a pink now.
u have no idea how many do i try and swatch …sometime i feel like getting the whole store and swatch and choose the best one
But I still feel intimidated at the MAC store
i kno how u feel preetha..and after swatching so many i still feel like getting all
haha..me too Zara..after seeing ur blush posts these days i wanna get all mac blushes..
hehe..i can understand…i too feel like getting ALL the mac blushes
and why is that when SA was so nice to you ?
Dunno, When I want to buy all, I have to settle down for one or two things. I am being melodramatic I know! but would love to buy the whole store someday.*Falls off the chair daydreaming*
actually shiv, a couple of days back a few of us were discussion bout how much we’d like t get a mac franchise
Zara recently posted..What you are to me
Take me in too, I can be Ok with Inglot franchisee too
i want a cosmetic mall .period
wah! this is called bigthinking
thumbs up!
i swear..when the SA is gud, theres nothing t worry..even in pune, the SAs hav such attitude..but i met a nice SA Gauri by name…shes so sweet! explains so well and always has a smile on her face,,,now wheneva i go there i go t her directly instead of getting my ego kicked by d others
Zara recently posted..What you are to me
i have had my share of rude SAs.. the delhi ones look down upon you and the Kol one didnt have any time at all… the only good SAs I found were on Singapore airport and Bangalore Shoppers Stop!

The one in Noida are nice…atleast…

anks recently posted..My Bridal Looks
the Blore ones were so rude t me…untili went myself and aksed for wot i wanted they were very rude

anks recently posted..My Bridal Looks
sucha pretty shade Shivangi.

Zara recently posted..What you are to me
U got taupe Anks?
no but twig falls in the similar category.. its less peachy than taupe… and i find myself reaching for twig more often than cosmo these days… very versatile! you tried it anu?
anks recently posted..My Bridal Looks
i have tried it Anks but i don own it..
i like twig too but still like cosmo more i feel…twig is more bron and cosmo is pinker on my lips
yeah… cosmo is quite pink on me… and though i love pink colours, they do clash with my yellow coloring! i bet some ancestors of mine were of asian descent and that yellow skin gene became active on me…
Twig on the other hand gives me a fantastic matte lip that is understated and not completely nude… perfect for day wear…
anks recently posted..My Bridal Looks
my lips get so sookhofyed when i use mattes usually..
hey Anks! btw, i got Colorbar sultry pink…and i Luv it! Thanx for d recco
Zara recently posted..What you are to me
oh wow… you are welcome… i like sultry pink a litle more than Maybelline Hooked on Pink!
are Twig is a Satin finish that appears matte on my prunish lips but it does not sukhaofy them… but then its not a very unique shade… uska dupe milega aasaani se….
anks recently posted..My Bridal Looks
yup! i think twig and taupe can be easily duped..and maybelline must be definitely having them.
I own this shade. Its a beautiful neutral shade or MLBB perfect for NC40-42. it will be a nude shade for someone NC44 or more. BTW, Do you get gifts in MAC. Its news to me. I have never heard of such thing in any MAC store.
if u give them 6 empty products pan then they give u a product free
I have heard B2M. But from the review it sounded like she got it as GWP after spending certain amount
superbs…………………………… shades

Even FB goes down sometime
